A simple way to solve the issue of overlapping wires is to make it so when there's multiple inputs/outputs, the wire goes out a different distance on each one.

It would be nice if when you get tons of bullets and such on screen, it would automatically reduce the graphics to make the game keep running smoothly.

Used this set up (besides the OnTick() in the bottom left obvs) to win on 123456, but when I won the game didn't end. Eventually I pressed 'e' and it gave me a premium chip, but then 'e' again returned me to the level where I took a bajillion damage but didn't die but did become invisible but could still move and trigger the level ending animation and pull up this screen and shoot, but nothing seems to be happening.

Also, very cool that this game has and properly handles (afaict) flip flops

It's neat. I really wish the programs wouldn't sometimes fail with no explanation. I had an awesome one set up to overclock a bunch of robots, overclock anything near any overclocked ones, and also have them attack nearby ones. But it didn't work. I ended up almost winning and I think I could have if I hadn't had to fiddle around with it and check if it works while under attack.

Also, it feels overly reliant on RNG. You can't win in the higher difficulties without a few powerful nodes that you might just not get.

Thank you for playing!

We’ve realized that there is a bug with the ForeachOverclocked and ForeachOverclockedInRange nodes. We’ll address this issue in the next update.

Balancing the game is an ongoing challenge, and we truly value feedback like yours. Thank you!

This game is so cool! I love stringing together loads of ping nodes and then looping the onhit node at the end of the string back to the start of the list and watching the chain reaction! Great game, I love the whole concept!

Thank you for playing and for your kind words! If you'd like, feel free to join us on Discord and share your builds with our (still small) community. We’d love to see what you’ve created!

When you quit the text is in German :D

Had a really nice time, the virus building was clever and I liked how new nodes were introduced. I think there might need to be a clearer VFX for when someone is overclocked, right now I had some trouble understanding the exact mechanic. But overall really fun!

The one thing it's missing is of course a robust story mode. Can't have hacking without some reason for all the hacking, eh?

yep, and "Sie" should be written in Uppercase when quitting :)

Thx for the feedback and playing. A Story Mode is something we are thinking about. But at the moment the focus is on more basic stuff

Really cool game. My only issue was not being able to zoom out more when I was building my virus. There is not enough space to build bigger sequences. I also don't like SFX when we are being hit xd Everything else feels and plays awsome. Great job!

Thx for the feedback and thx for playing!

Man brauch einen Moment um rein zu kommen aber dann macht das Spiel richtig Spaß! Ist mal was anderes! Und schönes Design! 

Schön, dass es dir gefallen hat

It is a cool game idea and has fun gameplay; I will be wishlisting now.

Glad you like it!

Well done all around! It was a bit hard to read the text, a scaling option would be nice but I only had to do a lot of reading in the tutorial stage. Great job!

Thx for the feedback and the kind words!
